Thank you. Thank you very much for that honest response. Could I ask Andrea, please, what you think?

Diolch yn fawr iawn. Gaf i ofyn cwestiwn? Roeddech chi'n sôn yna am Disability Confident, a dŷn ni wedi clywed, yn y pwyllgor yma, agweddau gwahanol ynglŷn â Disability Confident. Gaf i ofyn y ddau ohonoch chi, os gwelwch chi'n dda, beth ydych chi'n meddwl am…

Thank you very much. I'm going to speak in Welsh, so I just wanted to make sure that you have the translation. So, the first question: you've spoken a little bit about the work that your organisations do. But could I ask a little bit more? What do you…

No, it's okay. Thank you very much. And Terry, just one thing.

Thank you very much. And just one brief question, if I may, because we don't have much time left. If there's one thing that you could change in order to drive change in this whole agenda, just one thing that you could change in Wales—I know, this is blue-sky…

Thank you very much. And if I could ask Terry, too, the same question in a way. What kind of monitoring do you use and what targets do you have as part of your work?
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 9
Just looking to the future and looking back, then, at your work.
, Equality and Social Justice Committee
Disability and employment: evidence session 9
No. Right, thank you very much. A short answer.

Just one further question: so, do you have that information so that you can review your activity? So, if you see someone moving on to employment, or not moving on to employment, do you receive that information so that you can review your activities? And just…

Do you have any targets? If I could look at Careers Wales first, do you have targets now or for the future in order to reduce that gap?

Disability and employment: evidence session 9
Thank you very much. I know that time is tight, so I'll just ask two questions, if I may. First of all, could I ask what kind of measures are in place to ensure that you close this disability employment gap? And what kind of data do you use to monitor and…

Thank you very much. Diolch yn fawr, Cadeirydd.

Thank you. I've just got one more question, if that's all right, and it's about the Welsh Government. I was really surprised to hear from you that we've moved the disability employment gap by 1 per cent in five years. I'm a great advocate of targets, as in I…

Thank you. I was going to ask you about that. What would it be as well for employers to be able to either go through a process or to demonstrate that they'd had an awareness-raising process in terms of that education, and in terms of awareness of the legal…

But my question therefore is: what would you like to see? If you had a Rolls-Royce model, a clean sheet here in Wales, what should we be doing differently? How should we be redesigning the process so that we are on this more equitable level for everybody?

Thank you very much. I've got the last section of questions, so thank you very much to you and your partner for joining us today. You talked right at the very beginning around the whole picture that there is. I get the impression from you that you’d like it…

The Equality and Social Justice Committee, in November 2023, published the report, 'Calling time on child poverty'. Our clear recommendation was that Welsh Government should set interim and longer term targets for reducing child poverty, learning from the…

Statement by the Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning: Energy and the green economy
Cabinet Secretary, you can't possibly know of all the innovations around the country, because many of us have the opportunity of visiting them and being aware of them, and one that I would like to talk about this afternoon, and it may be that other colleagues…

Good afternoon, Trefnydd. I would like to request, please, a statement from the Counsel General regarding the progress on the proposed legislation aimed at combating deception in politics. Back in July, following a debate in the Senedd, I was pleased to see…

Thank you. I don’t know if Elisa wants to say something on this, but I’ll go on to the final question, if that’s okay. Perhaps I know the answer to this, I’m not sure, but what does the Welsh Government need to do to close the disability employment gap? One…

Thank you. I don't know if Gerraint would like to say something now. No. Sorry, no. So, I wanted to talk about the schemes in the UK and also here in Wales. What do you think of the UK and Welsh Government schemes? You've mentioned Business Wales and the…
